“I called Carlyn Forrest in desperate need of nurse aide help. My husband had a stroke while we were visiting Atlanta on business from Florida. We had exhausted all funds for aide services. Carlyn Forrest and The Exceptional Care Foundation responded immediately and sent a competent aide to assist my husband. The service was professional, patient-centered and punctual. I am so grateful for the Exceptional Care Foundation.”

“I’m writing this note to let you know that we deeply appreciate Dwight Patterson. He has been allowed to help Martin Ross (who is 96 years old) an additional three days a week. I prayed for this blessing. After a short time, it happened because of you and Exceptional Care Health Services Inc. You were willing to help us when other resources refused. I thank you very much. I am Martin’s niece. We were both happy to have Dwight back helping my uncle. We will always be thankful for your agency. Martin and I cannot thank you enough.”

“Our mom has progressed in her recovery with the nurse aide provided from donations made to The Exceptional Care Foundation. The generous support provided by people like you during our financial hardship and funding cutbacks enable us to meet the essential needs of daily life. We truly thank you.”

“I am very satisfied with the aide Exceptional Care Health Service is providing. It has taken a lot of stress off my shoulders. The aide is very nice and my son likes him a lot. The aide is helping my son to walk with his cane, something he was not able to do before the aide came. Exceptional Care is the only agency that offered free care to my son, even though his income is below the poverty level. I thank God for Exceptional Care Foundation.”
A Letter From Our Founder
To Exceptional Care Health Service Inc.’s Colleagues, Clients and our Community:
Welcome to our website.
Exceptional Care Health Service Inc’s (E.C.H.S.I.’s) work in the community is a ministry provided by like-minded dedicated, nurses and aides with compassion and love.
Many, of our elders find themselves in situations where they have too much income to be a Medicaid recipient but too little income to pay for care that will enable them to remain safe in their homes, as they prefer.
In 2003, E.C.H.S.I. was founded on the principle that our elders’ health improves and they live longer with personal supportive in-home care tailored to meet their specific needs. We targeted this group of elders in need as our purpose with the primary goal of preventing nursing home placement.
E.C.H.S.I. provides superior in-home service. We get to know our clients’ interests, needs and preferences. Then, we carefully match caregivers with our clients for the best possible experience and outcomes. We follow all safety protocols while in the home with the highest standards of integrity and responsiveness. Our registered nurse is only a phone call way to discuss any needed changes to our client’s service plan.
We have all experienced the way we lived during the past two plus years due to COVID-19. It’s important that we let each other know that we are here, and we care about each other. Since 1996, as a leader of In-Home Care in Dekalb County, GA. our values of compassion demand that we continue to demonstrate Exceptional Care, kindness, and respect to all our clients and others.
Because I love what I do, it’s as if I’ve never worked a day in my life.
With Love and Service,
Carlyn Forrest, RN, MSN, CLNC, CNS, NP
Founder & Executive Director Exceptional Care Health Service Inc. (E.C.H.S.I.)
